Animate

Hey everyone! I'm working on an HTML5 project and I need to add background music that plays independently from the timeline. I've set the sync settings to stream, but the music stops when there is a frame stoppage in the animation. There are also moments where the user clicks a button and returns to earlier moments in the animation and the music plays from that point instead of continuously. I've searched the forums, youtube videos, and support guides but just can't find an answer that works for me. Appreciate any help!

Hi, I am facing an issue. I have just installed Adobe Animate on Windows and as soon as I click to create a new document it crashes.  Is anyone facing the same issue?

I don't know what I'm doing, but I need to create an animation for college. So far I've designed some characters but have hit a bit of an issue which is that I drew them too small and can't upscale them without it all going horribly wrong. I've searched around a bit and Illustrator's "scale strokes and effects" seems to be what I want, but there is no such option in Animate and attempting to copy the layers into Illustrator results in a bitmap.I've attached an image of one of my characters as its original scale, then an enlargened version and then a copy which has been converted to a symbol before being scaled. As you can see, neither of those options work too well. And yes, there are better ways of doing things than colouring things in the old-fashioned way, but I couldn't get anything else to work.Any ideas on how to scale line thickness with the rest of the content as well then? Seems like a weird limitation.  😕😕

Plz It's so inconvenient! The angle doesn't go straight even when I press shift, and I'm drawing, but the screen keeps spinning, so I can't proceed. Is there a way to turn it off?

just worked for the past couple hours on an animation, did test movie and accidentally clicked "no" on the save..my settings are on autosave for every 20 minutes but there is no recovery file. is there any possible way to get this file back?i went in the /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Animate CC 2019/en_US/configuration and i didn't see it there either..(im on a macos mojave)

I recently started working with Adobe Animate and while I love quite some features I am struggling a lot with the unintuitive User Interface. One thing I find particularly annoying is that whenever I want to zoom into the timeline, it scales around its origin instead of scaling around the current position of the time cursor. This means on a longer sequence I always lose the position of where I currently am and have to scroll back there before being able to continue to work.This certainly must have been addressed a long time ago in a software which has been around for such a long time, right?  I am only missing the proper way to do it, right?  Right???? Any help is highly appreciated, thanks!

Hello there, I'm currently working on my first bigger project in animate and I wonder whether I am missing something regarding the editing of motion tweens because they are so hard to actually work with.The thing which keeps bugging me is working with motion tweens. I would like to have an object bounce to the rhythm of a song and therefore adjust the keyframe tangents in the motion tween's graph (see attached image). This is such a struggle though! First thing is that by default all interpolation is linear and in order to get some easing i need to ALT+Click EVERY keyframe TWICE in order to pull the handles out which is super fiddly! There must be an easier way to do this, isn't there? Second problem is that once I try to change a keyframe's value by dragging it up or down in the graph the whole graph starts scaling so I very quickly end up with crazy high or low values. I can't imagine that everybody else is working the way I just described as well so I hope somebody can tel

Is it possible to use radio menus, drop-down select lists, and other types of GUI inputs for JSFL scripts?  I noticed from this article these types of inputs can be accomplished using XMLUI, but so far I have not found complete documentation for XMLUI. Is it even advisable to use XMLUI, or should I consider another route, like making Adobe Animate Extensions / Plugins for more advanced input possibilities? Thank you greatly for your input on this, as I hope to share my Adobe Animate automation scripts in the future to help compensate for some of Adobe Animate's missing features. 

Hi, I'm fairly new to animate, but i made a little video. I always oriented my editing based on what i saw on the stage, but now, when i export it, its all weird and it seems to play all my animations at once. I just want it to play whats on stage. I cant screenrecord it, because the quakity would be too bad. Can someone please help? I also added the videos to understand my problem better 🙂

Is there an easier method to moving the timeline instead of selecting and dragging all of the layers? I have a bunch of folders and layers and I'm working on my animation in different areas. For example I started working on the end of the animation, and now I'm working on something in the middle and I have to push the timeline forward now. Sometimes it messes up the timeline when I move the layers forward. 

Hi everyone, Here I have a symbol(symbol1), it contains 3 layerslayer1, named 'as', it contains only one line on frame 100 removeChild(this)​ layer2, is a layer contains pic1layer3, is a layer contains pic2 It goes all well. Until I changed layer2 and layer 3 into symbol2 and symbol3.After layer2, layer3 are changed into symbols.Symbol2 is put back on layer2, and Symbol3 is on layer3.Everything keeps same, just all key frames are now contained in individual symbols. And then,  code on layer1 raises error.  IT DOES NOT WORK NOW.Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: flash.display::Stage@5e12d25d0d1  cannot convert to flash.display.MovieClip I've also tried  removeChild(this.symbol2) to remove one layer directly. It still failsArgumentError: Error #2025: The provided DisplayObject must be a child of the caller. Trace(symbol2.parent) The result of the Trace statement above is: Parent of symbol2: [object symbol1]So symbol2,

I imported audio into my project, 44 kHz Mono 16 Bit 2.5s 31.5 kB, it doesn't play the sound at all. It's an ActionScript file. It's not in a symbol, it's on a layer. Audio isn't muted in Animate. I'm very lost.

how can i set mute/unmute button synchronizedly when I want to changed to next scene. example I already play the sound at scene 1 but when I go to the scene 3, I was muted the button, and then when I go to scene 4, supposedly system will muted the sound because previous sceneI have muted the sound. But when I changed to scene 4 the sound play from the beginning of music. and this problems continuously to others frame also.  I very need a help, thank you  

Hi, I need help with a code that will reload my page or go to a frame 0 if the page is idle (no mouse movement or clicks) for 3 minutes. HTML5 Canvas thanks

I'm pretty new to adobe animate so if someone could help me out that would be great. I set the opacity to some of the layers on my aniation to 50%, but when I preview the animation all the layers are back to 100%. Is there anyway I can prevent this? 

Does anyone know why when I generate a sprite sheet from a symbol it leaves a blank space in between each sprite (I have used a non-transparent background to show this space). This is one of many sprite sheets that I am attempting to make with this program and the other ones seem to work just fine with and export without this white space.

Flash Player 35 supports a much needed larger address space, but while that player is included in the Animate installation, at least since Animate 2023, it's not listed in the pulldown of the available player targets in Publish Settings, which still stops at Flash Player 32

Has anyone seen a limit to the cumulative size of swfs that can be loaded at run time in Flasg Player 32? While the Animate preview loads and plays those swfs, Flash Player 32 hangs during the load of multiple swf after the total exceed ~500MB. Has anyone else seen this, and found a way around it?

Hello, My son uses Animate to make short videos and episodes of a little series he shares with his friends. He's never had a problem exporting any of his work to a video except for this specific file. I'm not familiar with how the program works but I thought I'd share the file on his behalf to see if anyone could try and see what's causing it to freeze during export, whether trying to covert to AVI, H264 or any other format. It always gets stuck at 20% on multiple devices as well. Here is a link to a Google Drive upload to the file. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated! Animate File 

 I have been messing with this for the better part of 2 hours. I tired to attach an FLA but it wouldn't let me. its 1152x658 all shapes no imagesMy OAM file is 10.5 MBQuestion 1: Why is my file so big 1 there are no images. I broke apart the SVG's its still 10.5MBI had some text layers I deleted still 10.5textured / Image assets/sprite sheet all 10.5 - 10mb Question 2: Whats the proper publish setting for the scenario below?I have literally 70 designers I want to unleash in the animate community, I just need to make sure I train them right an I know what the F I'm talking about everything we will do will most likely 1152x648 and placed in indesign, probably a mix of SVG's, pngs and Jpgs what would be the next publish settings for our needs

So far everything looks very easy to control in this program-- but the FPS is stuck on 30. and I don't see any way to change it. I'd like to have the option of animating in 2's (12 fps) or using standard film frame-rate (24 fps)-- this must be an option right?

Many fonts are not working in Adobe Animate. Spaces are not rendering correctly within letters. I used Adobe Fonts, and the fonts work well in Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, etc., but not in Adobe Animate. I am using MAC.  when I send a File to a Windows user Font works well for Them.
